The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Residential High Density. The requested MF-18 zoning does not require a Land Use Plan Amendment. Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to MF-18. Staff views the request as reasonable. Staff feels that a multifamily development will be a nice addition to the existing use mix in this area near the intersection of 1-430 and Colonel Glenn Road. With the growing commercial developments to the west and north (Shackleford Crossings), a multifamily development with the potential of 360 units will aid in supporting these developments.
